McGarigle related his experience since
he left Sarnia, from whence he started on

Petrolia, Ont. From there he rode horse
back to Inwood. There he assumed the
role of patent medicine fakir until he
struck Alviston, where he took the train
for ST. Thomas, and from there to Port
Stanley. From this point he refused to
say where he went, but the impression re-.

The Chicago Omnibus Bood!er Case Re-
suits in the Conviction of the Entire Lot
on Trial-The Penalties.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Shortly after three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon Judge janet
son finished his instructions to the Jury in
the big boodler case, and they retired to
consider their verdict. The court took a
recess until half-past six O'Clock, but at
that time when Judge Jameson returned,
to the bench the jury was not ready to re-
port. The judge, lawyers, defendants and
a crowd of people filling the courtroom,
waited patiently until few minutes be-
fo0e mir clock, when the jury returned
and announced that all the defendants hadi
been found guilty as charged.
Great excitement was caused in the court
by the announcement, though the verdict;
had been expected by even the most saa.-
guine of the boodlers and their friends.
The jury were polled, and then it was an
nounced they had awarded penalties to-
the defendants as follows: Leyden, Van
Pelt, Wren, Wasserman, Ochs, McClaugh-
rey and Varnell, two years each in the
penitentiary; Getz, Oliver, Casselman and
Mccarthy 81 900 fine each, but no imprison-
ment. Notice Of motion for new trial
was given, and the court adjourned. The
boodlers were taken in charge by Sheriff
Matson and conveyed to the county jail.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 6.-By an ex-
plosion of an oil can Thursday night the
four children of Owen Hade, living near
Etna, Pa, were so badly burned that the
baby, aged sixteen months, died in a short
time, and the other three can not
recover. The children in some way
got possession of the oil can in the abb
sence Of their mother. Eddie, the oldest
child, aged eight years, poured the oil
on the stove as he had frequently seen hts
mother do, and the explosion followed,
setting fire to the house and scattering the
burning auid over the four children. All
were terribly burned before the flames
were extinguished.

NEW York, Aug. 6.-Judge Lacomb
yesterday dismissed the case of the emil
grafton commission against Ingjerde JON
son, the Swedish emigrant woman whom
the commission were endeavoring to have
adjudged pauper and sent back to
Sweden, from where she came. In dis
missing the case, Judge Laconb said:
"The normal condition of every body in
this country is that of freedom. This
woman is restrained of her freedom
through the determination of the Board of
Emigration Commissioners. That deter
mination has been received and reversed
by the Secretary of the Treasury, it's
higher authority, and there is nothing left
for the court to do but dismiss the case"

FERRY.BOULANGER.

Popular Opinion in France Setting Against
NJ. Ferry, by Reason of His Unwiningness
to Shoot as Freely with q Pistol as He DID
with His Mouth.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-The situation OF the
parties to the Boulanger-Ferry imbroglio
remains unchanged, except that General
Boulanger's friends are rapidly increasing
in numbers, while those of NJ. Ferry are
showing corresponding falling off. When
III. Ferry denounced General Boulanger in
his speech at Epinal as "a st. Arnaud of
the music halls" a great many persons,
for q variety of reasons, believed that the
ex-Premier spoke the truth, not that the
ex-War Minister had ever evinced
a disposition to follow in the foot
steps of that infamous General,
but merely because n statesman
of the eminence of NJ. Ferry had asserted
his conviction that General Boulanger
cherished selfish and unpatriotic notions
of the uses to which the army of France
should be put. When General BoulangeI
challenged M. Ferry these same French
men thought the formers action an un-
pardonable piece of impudence, and blind
ly construed his resentment of gratuitOus
villifcation as a confirmation of the lat
ter's asseveration of the formers falsity.
When, however, M. Ferry, through his
chosen representatives, declined to accord
to General Boulanger the satisfaction
due from the aggressor to the party ag-
grieved, and attempted to shield himself
from the danger of personal injury behind
the technicalities of the code, the scales
fell from the eyes of the followers of the
champion of the disastrous Tonquin CAM
paign, and they beheld a soldier of France
beset upon all sides by enemies whose sole
cause of enmity was their jealousy of his
Ill ,oI s,,lx- On,
obtain redress from the coward who had
traduced him. Even the most bitter of
General Boulanger's enemies in official,
political and military circles-he has only
those in the latter who are interested in
keeping themselves in desirable places by
currying the favor of the ministry-recog-
nize the fact that NJ. Ferry must fight. He
has reaped all the glory obtainable from
haranguing gaping, jeering crowds, and
INDUCING in cheap witticisms and ground
less accusations at the expense of a man
he thought to be beyond the limits of strik-
ing back, and he must take the conse-
quences. There is no doubt that there
is no more uncomfortable man in
France to-day than M. Ferry; but
he will find his position still more
uncomfortable if he attempts to dismiss
the matter with contempt, and to throw
himself back on the assumption that he
has given General Boulanger an oppor
tunity to obtain satisfaction of which that
officer failed to avail himself. 1t would be
better for NJ. Ferry to be killed by General
Boulanger than to attempt to live down
the contempt and ostracism that would
surely follow his failure to back up his
words. He would be no more lifeless to
those who now think well of him, should
bullet from Boulanger's pistol pierce his
heart, than he would be if he should
eventually shirk the danger of a duel by
abject resort to subterfuge and quibbling
at mmaterial provisions of the code.

He died in 1915 at the age of seventy

Mary Clark. then sixteen years old. Ten
years ago Mrs. Casey filed application for
a pension. but it was pigeon holed on some
technicality and was but recently called to
Commissioner Blacks attention. No valid
reason existed for the delay ard the CLAIM,
was allowed.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 4.-Senator Beck
says there is nothing surprising in the vote

many Republicans refrained from voting.
Then there were malcontents-men who
wanted but could not get offices. He has
